Rocker Courtney Love refuses to acknowledge her parents, insisting she would only speak to her mother in order to tell her to "stay away".
The Hole star, 42, who is the daughter of Hank Harrison and LINDA CARROLL, endured a tumultous childhood, and claims the stem of her troubled relationship with her family is because she was "conceived by a rape".
She says, "I don't really have parents. I have never had parents. I haven't spoken to my father in 25 years. My mother claims I have spoken to her, but I haven't. Maybe I spoke to her to say, 'Stay away from me.'
"I haven't lived with my mother since I was seven. I was either at boarding school or institutionalised. She first tried to send me to a school for emotionally disturbed children in New Zealand. Because I was conceived by a rape, she had all this crazy stuff in her head."
